Pretty much anything that has "witch" or "wizard" in the title is fluff. There is very little understanding of the actual historical traditions behind these terms, so anything you read that focuses on those labels is going to be modern fantastic anachronism. Also, try to avoid the "books of spells" - there's nothing in there that you couldn't come up with on your own given a proper understanding of the principles of sympathetic magic. In fact, with study, you could probably come up with even more powerful spells using stronger factors.
